Honors at Wichita State empowers students to excel academically, professionally, and individually. Personalized plans of study and new research, leadership, and other applied learning opportunities offered by the Dorothy and Bill Cohen Honors College cater to the unique interests of each individual student.
In honor of the tradition of honors education at Wichita State since the 1957 founding of an honors program, we are asking supporters to donate $57 to the dean’s discretionary fund. These funds will support programs throughout the year including first-year honors student retention initiatives such as the Honors Colloquium that engages new students with community-building activities and guests from across campus.
Or, if you’d like to support the college as a whole–the Honors College Shocker Fund provides unrestricted support to the areas of greatest need. That could include student or faculty conference attendance fees and travel, study abroad sponsorships, and more.
